A friend suggested it may have been Olympic rules, where you can have two over players over 23. Maybe McCarthy was getting back to fitness and needed game time or somethingQuote:

An excellent choice were it to happen. He has pretty much had a magic wand wherever he has gone.Quote:

Probably a better option out there - a shame he's never managed at a higher level than the third tier (I think?) though. Maybe there's a reason for that, but he seems to have done reasonably well at his various clubs in the past.
He was born 20 years too early. He'd have made a packet in today's game and wouldn't have to go from town to town all over the UK to earn a crust.
His managerial statistics are excellent when you consider that by and large he took over teams when struggling at the wrong end of the lower reaches of the English leagues Total G490 W189 D132 L169
I don't think it'd work out well. I've huge admiration for Sheridan and am a Leeds supporter I should clarify.
Leeds don't deserve a manager of his calibre. Better put - a manager of his calibre deserves better than what's on offer at Leeds which is essentially no more than the opportunity to attempt CV rehabilitation (which Sheridan scarcely needs incidently) while his coaching badges are being used to validate the actions of a lunatic owner who's attempting to proxy manage a football team from the shadows.
Steve Evans needed that opportunity at career rehab and I've gone from considering him a bumbling idiot to believing him to be an honourable man working under impossible conditions. I don't think he's good enough to manage Leeds and the I believe the main reason he wasn't sacked was Cellino can't afford to have any more ex-managers on gardening leave (as Milanic recently revealed he still is). But under the current regime Leeds deserve no better. I wish Evans well wherever he ends up.
John Sheridan would do well to avoid Elland Road til Cellino jogs on.
^ Unstable Chairpersons ain't good for football clubs...I will accept payment from football clubs for this sage advice !
appointed manager of Notts County: http://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/...y-3127780.aspx
That's pretty underwhelming isn't it? He's actually dropped a division. Must be some reason he took it, financial?
I remember reading something a few years ago about Notts County being statistically the most frustrating team to support in the football league!
I'd say that must be the other Magpies, Newcastle. They even won an FA Cup in 1894 (don't really recall it - was only a young lad at the time).Quote:

sacked by Oldham
That might be a bit of a blow for Jack Byrne - http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41239989Quote:

Sheridan was at the Sheffield derby yesterday (with Chris Waddle). He's had in ups and downs (literally) as a manager in the lower leagues but never managed to make that leap to a higher level. Shame.
Resigned as manager of Carlisle earlier today: https://www.carlisleunited.co.uk/new...from-position/
According to Sky Sports, he will take over at Chesterfield (currently 21st in the National League) in a few days
What a weird move. Carlisle in the play-offs in League Two in their fifth year in that division. Looks like he was doing alright there?
I saw Chesterfield were on the look-out for a new manager and he was the first person I thought of. They did relatively well under him before, and as far as non-elite clubs go, they've got significant potential.
Appointed manager at Waterford this evening.
Wow. Interesting!Quote:

What kind of a pub league club appoints the same manager six times? :confused:Quote:

When journalists were summoned to Ibrox for a Graeme Souness press conference, in which the Rangers boss would unveil a high-profile Catholic signing, the hacks showed up in a nonchalant mood. Their contacts had given them all the same name: Sheffield Wednesday’s Republic of Ireland midfielder John Sheridan.
I always smile when I see the Sheridan thread has been updated. One of the absolute characters of Irish football in the past 50 years.
Even this is glorious. I never knew the particulars (behind the scenes) about Mo Johnston's transfer.
Perhaps John Sheridan deserves a chance at the Republic of Ireland Job ! !
Have to say I agree. Don't really know why, but definitely one I keep an eye on.Quote:

Or even his effort against Italy for that matter
Probably true. His assists against England and the North in the months after the 94 World Cup were top drawer too.
And for a while it looked like he'd be a decent manager too. But his temperament seems to have held him back there if nothing else
I believe you’re mixing him up with Quinn, who assisted Sheridan with a classy back heel V NIQuote:
